What drying runs into in Clinton
Serving Clinton and the surrounding area, including Countryside of Clinton.
Local housing stock
87.3 percent of Clinton's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1953, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1953 with nearly nine in ten houses older, the town was built along the river and its drainage was arranged to fall toward it, so the whole system depends on the outlets at the bottom being open and above the water.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 74.4 degrees against 21.9; the 38.16 inches a year peak in June at 4.79, rain recorded at CAMANCHE 1.2 W 3.4 miles away and temperatures at CLINTON #1 3.5 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.79 inches of a 38-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heavy rain comes in early summer; that is also when the river is carrying the season's melt and rain from upstream and standing at its highest.
How water losses tend to end in Clinton
- Drainage outlets submerged at exactly the time they are most needed
- A system that works perfectly for most of the year, so nothing appears to be wrong with it
- Two causes coinciding, so a heavy rain and a high river produce far more than either alone
